This video of a man proposing to his girlfriend during the meet-and-greet with Korn will definitely put a big smile on your face

When you get a chance to go to a meet-and-greet with your favorite band, that’s already overwhelming. But Korn fan Derek Dodson went even further and decided to propose to his girlfriend, Jamie Jones, right in front of the band. Korn members themselves had no idea about Dodson’s plan so check out how shocked the guys were when Dodson got on one knee. We can only imagine how enthralled his girlfriend felt at that moment.
The meet-and-greet took place before Korn’s show on October 14 in Tabernacle, Ga, according to Loudwire. Dodson told the band that the couple met thanks to his wearing a Korn shirt, the same one that he put on today to propose to Jamie. Check out how it all happened in the video below.
Here is what Derek Dodson told Metal Hammer:
Jamie and I have been together for two years. We both have loved Korn since high school and followed them with every new album release since. I’ve seen them in concert five times but Jamie has never seen them so I wanted to make it really special when she did.
When I bought this meet-and-greet this past July, I knew I wanted to propose to Jamie in front of them then. My original plan was to do it on stage but realised it would be best during the meet and greet. I tracked down the guy who was in charge of the VIPs and found him on Facebook.
I explained who I was and what I wanted to do and it was a few emails exchanged back and forth and that was it. Jamie was already starstruck just from meeting the band and when I laid the proposal down, she was really in shock.
